WF col with 4 beams framing in

WF col with 4 beams framing in

WF col with 4 beams framing in

(OP)
W14 column, with W24s beam framing into N & S, and W21s framing in E & W. The connections are for shear only, as lateral system is separate from this column. I am going to have the steel contractor design the connections but I want to graphically depict what the type of connection I should ask for. Would double angle shear connection work on all for sides? Or should be plate connection on at least 2 sides and double angle on other two sides.

I am not sure.

RE: WF col with 4 beams framing in

It depends on the load you have to transfer, the size and grade of bolt, and the available depth of member in the wweb as to whether or not you will need a double shear connection.

Depending on the loads, with a W14 (assuming 14x14, you would have no problems with plates or clip angle connections.
